Answer: How do I find today's date?
contributed by vroom use localtime or Time::localtime
my($day, $month, $year)=(localtime)[3,4,5];
print "$day-".($month+1)."-".($year+1900)."\n";
# or
use Time::localtime;
$tm=localtime;
my ($day,$month,$year)=($tm->mday,$tm->month,$tm->year);
Edited to fix precedence errors in localtime() version as noted by 3dbc | Answer: How do I find today's date?
contributed by ducky If you just need a timestamp string, ala "Wed Mar 22 10:56:43 PST 2000"
you can just:
print scalar localtime() ;

contributed by Zombie Melkurion Here's a complete little program:
use Time::localtime;
$tm = localtime;
printf("The current date is %04d-%02d-%02d\n", $tm->year+1900,
($tm->mon)+1, $tm->mday);
printf("The current time is %02d:%02d:%02d\n", $tm->hour, $tm->min, $t
+m->sec);

contributed by Agyeya You could also use Date::Manip
$date = ParseDate("today");
print "Today's Date is $date.\n";

contributed by sacked You can also use POSIX::strftime:
use POSIX qw(strftime);
print "today's date is ", strftime( '%b %e, %Y', localtime );

contributed by DeadPoet Example 1:
sub timestamp {
return localtime (time);
}
print '[' . timestamp() . ']: Normal Time Format'. "\n";
Output 1:
[Sat Jan 8 11:59:07 2011]: Normal Time Format
Example 2:
use Time::localtime;
sub timestamp {
my $t = localtime;
return sprintf( "%04d-%02d-%02d_%02d:%02d:%02d",
$t->year + 1900, $t->mon + 1, $t->mday,
$t->hour, $t->min, $t->sec );
}
print '[' . timestamp() . ']: Custom Time Format'. "\n";
Output 2:
[2011-01-08_12:06:05]: Custom Time Format
